Eye Floaters

Eyes Over Copley Offers Help for Eye
Floaters

You
may have noticed tiny cobwebs, strings, or spots floating around in
your field of vision. You can never quite focus on them, because they
constantly drift just out of your focus. These “floaters” are a
common problem that are usually harmless, but can obstruct otherwise
good vision. At Eyes Over Copley in Boston, MA, we offer an eye
floaters cure to resolve annoying floater problems.

What Are Eye
Floaters?

Eye
floaters are bits of debris that slough off the eye and collect in
the vitreous gel-like matter that is a part of the eye’s structure.
The particles can form into a variety of shapes and sizes that the
individual may catch a glimpse of as they focus on a light-colored
background. They are called “floaters” because they appear to
float away as you try to focus on them.

What Causes Eye
Floaters?

The
formation of this debris in the vitreous matter occurs naturally as
the eyes age. However, other factors can contribute to development of
floaters, such as inflammation at the back of the eye, bleeding in
the eye from medical conditions such as diabetes and high blood
pressure, retinal tears or eye surgery and medications.

Eye Floater Treatment

When
eye floaters become severe enough to obstruct normal vision, your eye
doctor may recommend vitrectomy, a procedure that removes the
vitreous matter and replaces is with a solution. This can help to
reduce annoying vitreous floaters. Laser surgery is another eye
floater cure that breaks up the floaters to make them less noticeable
in your field of vision.

Your Optometrist at
Eyes Over Copley Can Help

Your
eye doctor in Boston can provide comprehensive exams during your
annual visit. Our optometrist will use special equipment to view the
internal structures of your eye, looking for any abnormalities that
might indicate vitreous detachment, glaucoma, or other problems. The
doctor will ensure you have the right vision prescription for your
needs, to help you look past any existing floaters that obstruct your
vision. If the development of these floaters increases, or inhibits
your normal activities, our optometrist may recommend an eye floaters
solution, such as surgery, to improve vision.
